Last one.

Car looks much sleeker with black wheels.

Again, photos don't do it justice.

I was always a bit disappointed with the silver wheels and they looked a dogs dinner with orange mirrors/rear wing.

The black wheels in character with car and balance out the orange.

Gorgeous looking car!! I'm really happy for you and hope you enjoy every minute of it.

Hey Icon, yesterday you had a picture of a yellow RS. Was it photoshop or will their be a real yellow RS available?

I thought the black either came with silver or orange wheels. I agree the black wheels do look better.

Must admit I'm pleased with end result.

Was thinking I should have gone for the orange paint with black wheels. Black paint with silver wheels looked odd and made the orange mirrors something of an eyesore.

The black wheels transform the car, making it look sleeker (the orange RS stripe elongates the car) and somehow wider and lower (perhaps the black wheels filling out the wheel arches).

And it now looks seriously mean and can therefore cope with the orange mirrors/side fins.

I've gone from kicking myself for a duff colour choice to recognising that I'm an artistic genius.

And the photos don't do the car justice, it looks much better in the metal.

Black wheels definetley transform the car-perfect. I would change the mirrors to black if that would not be a violation of the true GT3 RS community.

After wasting much time trying to decide which color combo is the best, I think I'm leaning towards your black/black car. Car looks aggressive and keeps the decorative striping and orange mirror housing and wing plates without looking too over the top. Also, it is the lowest cost option.
